“Outliers” deep dives into the organizational use of fear tactics and the related, unknown forces that we are supposed to run from, or conform to,” offers Scorpion Child vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black. “The song is a look into the thought that “they” are always watching us and that we should play the same game from our POV in the shadows.”
Scorpion Child just completed a successful autumn European tour which launched on October 3 and included spotlight festival appearances as part of Switzerland’s Up In Smoke Festival (w/ Monster Magnet, Slomosa), the Netherlands’ Into The Void Festival (w/ Black Tusk, Greenleaf), Germany’s Keep It Low Festival (w/ Russian Circles, Inter Arma), Belgium’s Desertfest (w/ Conan, Monolord). The tour included a special live set on legendary German music television show, Rockpalast, which has hosted scores of A-level artists such as The Afghan Whigs, Black Pumas, The Cult, and Thin Lizzy, and saw Scorpion Child lauded for its “raw energy.”
“I Saw the End as it Passed Right Through Me is a quite intense and rather moody record,” Black continues. “I wrote these songs from the pits of a deep depression after going through a really rough patch in life where my mental health was very poor. Don’t think of it as all gloomy, though, because in our sadness there are always euphoric times of extreme happiness and nirvana. It’s truly an honest record, and we are excited to perform it live.”

More from Scorpion Child:
Austin, Texas band, Scorpion Child, plays dark rock and roll that blends haunting themes and atmospheric melodies; a unique fusion of post-punk, hard rock, and brooding aesthetic. The band has returned in 2024, galvanized with a fortified lineup and renewed dedication. Scorpion Child wields a sound that hearkens back to when guitar rock ruled the airwaves and going to concerts was the ultimate main event. The quintet released its self-titled debut in 2013 via Nuclear Blast Records. The album landed at #26 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and #99 on the Billboard Hard Music Albums chart. Following its premiere by Eddie Trunk, iTunes named “Polygon Of Eyes” its Single of the Week, and Scorpion Child earned a nomination for Best New Band at the Classic Rock Awards. The group’s second album, 2016’s Acid Roulette, was recorded with GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith [Meat Puppets, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead], and featured the fan-favorite tracks “Reaper’s Danse”, and “My Woman in Black.”
